<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marry Me Chicken is a popular Italian-American dish, made with seared chicken thighs in a creamy parmesan sauce.<\/p>\n
The unique name was coined from its irresistible taste that is said to have the power to elicit a marriage proposal.<\/p>\n
Sharing her take on the dish on the blog Little Sunny Kitchen, recipe author and avid home cook Diana agreed.<\/p>\n
She claimed: “This chicken dinner is so good that if you make it for your partner, a marriage proposal will be their next question.<\/p>\n
“All you need to make this wonderful dish is just a few ingredients and half an hour of your time.”<\/p>\n

Dredge in a bowl of the all-purpose flour and shake off any excess.<\/p>\n In a large skillet, heat olive oil and melt the butter on medium heat, swirling it around to coat the base evenly. Add the chicken to brown it off but take care not to overcrowd the pan – instead, work in batches if necessary.<\/p>\n Cook for five minutes on each side or until golden brown and white inside. Transfer onto a plate, cover, and set aside.<\/p>\n Saute the garlic in the same pan for a minute until it’s fragrant, then, add the chicken stock and deglaze the pan scraping any bits stuck to the bottom with a wooden spoon.<\/p>\n Adjust the heat to medium-low before adding the heavy cream and the parmesan cheese to the skillet. Allow the sauce to simmer for a couple of minutes, then season with chilli flakes, thyme, and oregano.<\/p>\n Season with salt and pepper to taste, add the sundried tomatoes then put the chicken back in the sauce and let it thicken for a few more minutes.<\/p>\n Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves and serve warm over pasta or rice.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/14\/590x\/secondary\/MARRY-ME-CHICKEN-RECIPE-4969577.jpg?r=1695230613427\")
